Sometimes, if I don't write for a day or two, I get backed up - it's like constipation.

People who grew up on my books are now able to get the point across to others that they're worth reading.

I think I built my reputation by not worrying about it.

I don't plot, and I don't plan. I like to be surprised like the reader.

A lot of friends I went to school with were criminals.

I tried to draw and write comics when I was four. By the time I was nine, I had written my first story - about my dog, of course.
